Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 Lg Cloves garlic -- unpeeled
1 Teaspoon olive or canola oil
4 Large russet potatoes -- peeled and
-- quartered
1 Cup goat cheese -- room temp

Salt and white pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Wrap unpeeled garlic cloves in piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle
with olive or canola oil to prevent sticking to foil during
cooking. Bake in preheated oven 350 degrees until soft, 45 minutes
to 1 hour.

Meanwhile, bring water to boil in pot on stove. Cook potatoes in
water until fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes (see note).

Cool garlic cloves, then squeeze soft garlic out of outer skin.
Garlic should have a pasty texture.

Drain potatoes, saving cooking liquid. Place potatoes back in pot,
crumble goat cheese into potatoes, and add roasted garlic paste.
Add 1/4 cup of potato cooking liquid to potatoes. Mash together by
hand for best texture, or use hand mixer. Mash until ingredients
are well combined but slightly lumpy. Taste and add salt and white
pepper to taste. Serve immediately. Makes 8 servings.

Note: Steaming potatoes instead will retain the vitamin C that
dissolves into the cooking water.
